The Knicks swiped Game 2 from the 76ers, 108-102, as New York took a firm 2-0 control of the series. Game 3 is in Philadelphia and Joel Embiid is expected to play after missing Game 2.
New York has won five straight games. The Knicks won Game 1 by 39 points and were on a stretch of winning by 33.7 points per game until Game 2. The Knicks’ six-point win was the smallest of the playoffs. Jalen Brunson and Tyrese Maxey led Game 2 in scoring with 26 points each. The Knicks may need more Brunson in Game 3 with Josh Hart (thumb) and OG Anunoby (hamstring) listed as questionable.

Philadelphia turned the ball over 18 times, five more than New York, and lost the points off turnover battle, 23-9. Those were the two main reasons why the 76ers didn’t win Game 2. However, Philadelphia shot 38% from three and held New York to 27% from deep, plus the 76ers had three more free throw attempts (28 to 25). There were a lot of positives to take away for Philadelphia ahead of a pivotal Game 3 despite the narrow loss.
